Verdict

ENABLE is tough to oppose here given the manner in which she battered Rhododendron into submission at Epsom last time out. She looks to simply have too many guns for her rivals and, with a small field and a fair track, she should get her chance to shine. There could well be more to come from her, and the others will do well to lay down a threat if that is the case. Her stablemate Coronet was a good winner of the Ribblesdale last time out and is well-placed to take advantage should the favourite misfire. Rain Goddess cannot be ruled out from improving with Ballydoyle's string in majestic form while Naughty Or Nice could prove a good deal better than she had the chance to show at Ascot.
  1. Enable
  2. Coronet
  3. Rain Goddess
